This problem has no easy solution. In all the time we have not been given a use case where the call to load() was not triggered by a user action, and in fact this function is intended to be invoked on user events.
Regardless of this, we recently identified some cases where HLS videos never went to readyState>=2 unless play was explicitly called, hence the error you indicate: we need to call play() on the video load to reach a valid readyState. But we have the problem that we haven't been able to get the player to work without this fix. As paella-core is a multi stream player, it is necessary that all the videos are in readyState>=2 to be able to synchronise the videos correctly.
To implement this would probably require the creation of a new state between MANIFEST and LOADED, and this is a non-trivial task. To do this would probably require a redesign of the entire player architecture, and would probably also require the addition of new APIs for video format plugins.
I will try to find a solution that does not require so many changes, but at the moment it seems complicated.

Hi, I wanted to prefetch hls.js video fragments on the window load. the default behaviour of the player is when we click on the play button after that it will start loading hls.js fragments. But I want to load fragements on window load.
So to achieve that I called
paella.load()But in this, I am facing multiple issues.
My goal is to enable prefetch of the video on window load.
